Perfect stay for any foreigners exploring Japan who only speak English. The owners are friendly and helpful. The house stay is clean and roomy with good music and memorabilia. Also perfect location and close to hottarakashi onzen hot springs which allow travellers with tattoos. Thank you for a great stay and also guiding us where to enjoy tasty food for dinner and beers.

The location is great, the room is great! It was super quiet that you can only hear the crickets and the water flowing right next to your bed! The bed was super comfortable and clean, and there was a power outlet, two lights, place to hang your clothes, a trash bin, and an air conditioner. The only thing I can think of that was a bit unfortunate was a lack of table. However, the owner says that there should be a table coming soon! (And the layout of the room might change again!) Thanks for the wonderful accommodation!

家族で高くなく、愛犬と泊まれる宿を探して偶然見つけたこちらに宿泊しました。 観光して泊まるだけという感じで良ければ最高です。隠れ家みたいな部屋で、広くはないけどなんと無くテンションが上がる部屋、伝わりますかね? 男子は特に好きなはず。 部屋は宿のお兄さん手作りみたい。 ご飯無しプランから有りに変更してもらったんですが、コンフィとローストポーク?がどちらも最高に美味い!! 特にコンフィ、三食いけます、家の近くだったら間違いなく通ってます。 朝ごはんも凝ってはいませんが丁寧でこだわりを感じる美味しさ、野菜は自家製らしく、めちゃくちゃ新鮮で美味しい。 宿のお兄さんも気さくで感じの良い方で、落ち着いた、どこか懐かしいゆったりとした時間を過ごせました。 駐車場の手前の道がめっちゃ細くてドキドキしました。
